Default ($27) 88 makes a straight on the turn

No reads on these guys, it's like 5th hand or something. What's your river move? Flop call is OK with an overpair and a gutshot, right?

Hero (t1360)
MP1 (t3270)
MP2 (t220)
MP3 (t1470)
CO (t1470)
Button (t1470)
SB (t1440)
BB (t1580)
UTG (t1220)

Flop call is very standard, I would even raise it in some of the 6mans I play (prolly not great in this spot). Def bet the river here.

I'd hate to be raised on the river so I probably just check it.

You need to make a valuebet here.
If you get check-raised, it gets ugly, but it's still worth the risk.

I raise the flop! His most likely holding is a lower pair or a draw.

I bet the river as well, something around t300
